feeling, not fit

It has been over a year since I last wore this dress. That might not seem like a long time, especially since I have a habit of doing that. (Just yesterday I featured a knit cardigan I hadn't worn in over a year.) But when you really love something, going without it for a year is a long time. Long story short, I didn't feel great about the way I looked in it the last time I wore it, and with steady weight gain, I didn't even consider wearing it again until I had lost weight.

Then one day I woke up and really wanted to wear this dress, and so I did. I didn't care about whether it fit me or not; all I cared about was how I felt in it. And I felt great. Isn't that what really matters?

I think it looks great on you! As much as I advocate dressing your body shape, if it makes you feel good and it zips-- wear it! I love the stripes with the solid. It fits you so well from what I can tell in the pictures too.
